Programming Project part 6

The game now spawns a random missile and draws it out all the way down, instead of just having one small object moving down. The problem now is that the vector that contains the old positions gets completely crushed by the amount of positions saved; after the second missile restarts and tries to clear the vector there are more than 500 objects inside the vector, the deletionloop only removes a bit more than half of them for some reason and […]

Have done more files

This R-kanoid game project is coming to an end and I’ve done 8 more files, and those are 4 header (.h(pp)) files and 4 source files (.cpp). In detail it was the AnimatedSprite, Collide, PauseState and WinState files. It is hard to understand them but I managed to do them still all thanks to my much better colleague Georgios who’s done an awesome job with both making about 90 % more than me and also explaining things to me so that […]

TD – an entire day of programming is good for the soul!

Programmed from 10 in the morning to about 11 in the evening (with a couple of hours lunch and dinner pauses).
When everything “works as intended” it is really hard to stop, so things I got done today: * State-transitions * Tower placement (an ugly way, but it works!) * Projectile shooting
Things to do tomorrow: * Collision between projectiles and enemies * Esc-menu with Resume, Quit to Main Menu and Quit to Windows.´
States: Got Start-menu, Main game and an Exit-screen, which […]

Programming Assignment Arkanoid

I finished most of the art we needed for the game today. I created icons for the powerups (with animation), fixed the border so that it looks good and some other things. We scrapped the idea of using boost filesystem, cause neither of us knows how it works and how to build things separately. We can still let players use custom themes but now it wont be as cool as we had in mind.  I played around a bit with […]

Frogger Dev. Post 20

We made quite a bit of progress today even if the most we did was checking our codes for glitches and cleaning it up. Herman’s pretty much got the whole animation thing done and the data in question is taken from text files outside of the program. He basically kept working on it and fixed whatever errors there where.
Meanwhile, I was working on the pausestate which had me rebuild some parts of the gamestate and the soundmanager so that you […]

Select name state

Today I created a state called Intro where youcan create a name(for Highscore).
You simply press those letters you want and then you can start the menu screen.
This is a pre beginning to highscore which will save the name, score and possible time into a file.

Progress

Today i got back to working on my final assignment for the 2D-course after taking a few days off for personal reasons. It is starting to come together now and I will probably wait until I get some advice in the feedback sessions later this week before doing the final touch up.
This is the first time that I am working on a city scene and it turned out, as expected, that it is tedious work and the understanding of the […]

Frogger…. One Step Closer….

Getting closer everyday to recreating Frogger. Today i struggled with an InputManager, until i got it explained how it should be used. Then it turned out very useful, but the time i spend staring into the code… Makes me feel a little bit stupid afterwards.
Besides getting the Input to work properly, there was also changes to the music, as it now supports a playlist, and with a Next Song functions. Also added a ConfigurationFile, that handles at this moment […]

Programming Project, day 24

Finally added music playlists to the AudioManager, so the manager is complete now. With the playlist handling, it is possible to create almost any amount of playlists with almost any number of songs in each one. I also improved the AudioManager in it’s entirety. It now holds all sounds and musics in two std::map’s along with a string (name). To play a sound/change music playlist, just a function call with a string argument to the audiomanager is needed.
Although, doing this I […]

Day 18, Particle effect!

I finally added a particle effect. I made a new class called ParticleObject and added some functions and a vector to the GameObjectManager to handle the Particles. one particle is a 2 x2 sprite and they are drawn out and move in different directions after the ball. They start as soon as the ball is fired away and follow the ball until it hit the first brick and then they get deleted after about 3 seconds. I struggled most of […]

BAH!

First of all i got nothing done during the weekend.
Secondly, i ran into some issue with the animation for the turtle object. My idea was to give the object two AnimatedSprites and switch between them as the turtle went under water. For some reason the code straight out didn’t work. so i ended up trying to find the issue all day. I could have thought of another way to make the animations but i felt like i had most of […]
